- Similar to quad sets, this exercise is vital in learning how to contract your quadriceps - especially the rectus femoris muscle which extends your knee and flexes your hip! This is a crucial exercise early on following a knee surgery.

This is exactly what I needed!
Thank You
It’s also great for my greater trochater pain for long running ❤
great information. is this the ONLY way to work the rf. what other movements can be used to ISOLATE the rf?
I'm doing this exercise for PT for a medial meniscus tear and repair. I know it also strengthens the hip flexor which I also need but my hip flexor takes over and fatigues really bad through the second set. Any suggestions?
Hi, how should the breathing be during this exercise?
I dont know what has happened to my left leg I cant do raises like I used to, my upper thigh muscles give me an ache in the thigh when I do it like it is resisting. I tried every stretch that I know but it is not helping. 😢😢I am concerned now what should I do?
Doc what does it mean when you can't lift one leg straight as high it should?
Thank you
Do these also help with abdominal muscles?
Can i do these daily or EOD?
How to resolve when u unable to tense the muscle and leg feels dead
This great my PT told me to start this to help strengthen my Distal femur fracture do u guys have any other videos on proper form for more knee exercises Thank you
We have so many good videos on knee exercises! Check out our knee playlist on our page!
I’ve had a hip replacement 7 weeks ago (35yrs, OA with congenital issues) and am doing this to strengthen my flexors which were pretty non existent before, I’m definitely improving but how would I make it harder? also I need to increase my range of motion which is currently at 80-90 degrees, I’m allowed to do more but my muscles and brain is stopping me. Is there anything you could suggest?
Hi Flora! We have a great hip program that could definitely be of benefit to you! With focus on improving strength, this could be a really valuable program for you! Check it out here and please be sure to chat with your surgeon about when is a good time in your recovery plan to begin this! Let me know if you have any questions! theprehabguys.com/hip-prehab-program
Does this help starughten knee my knee wont straight
would it help if i use rubber band to increase the intensity? I tried squat but my knee hurts, and i found out this exercise is quite good for the knee. Thanks.
yes!
Thanks!
Will this strengthen the tendon at all? Because quad weakness is not the cause of my injury. It's just tendon over-use.
Great question! Here is an article we have dedicated to the topic of tendon injuries:

Hope that this is helpful!!
The squeeze part makes the bottom of my left knee cap mildly painful, and the quad muscles differences between my right and left legs are getting bigger. What can I do?
Im facing the same issue
im not a PT but i imagine pain is always a bad thing i would prob do as much it doesnt cause pain and lift. i think hes just doing it to get max efficiency from this exercise
what i meant -> max efficiency = max contraction in quad
How high do you lift it?
I can really feel my hamstrings screaming once I get a certain height
We recommend going to the height of the knee of the leg that is bent! That will minimize the stretch you are feeling through your hamstring!
so the added leg raise is only working the rectus femoris tho right? thanks man!
brent horton as well as the other hip flexors!
@@ThePrehabGuys connecting to the knee that is
brent horton the Psoas and iliacus are still going to contribute to hip flexion
@@ThePrehabGuys Yes but the video is about the knee correct?
brent horton yes !
Can you over extend ur knee by pushing to hard
That’s the point. To gain rom for knee extension
